Where are the grammar schools?

I am not familiar with the secondary school options in the area - but see people discussing grammar schools on Nappyvelleynet eg grammar school mock papers etc.

My question is: where are the grammar schools near Wandsworth or Clapham? I didn’t think there were any!!

Thank you :)
